Ottobock Set for €800M IPO on October 9, 2025
Several German companies, including Ottobock, are gearing up for Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Ottobock plans to go public on October 9, 2025, aiming to raise around 800 million euros and achieve a valuation of approximately 4 to 4.2 billion euros. Other companies are also exploring IPOs but have not yet set firm dates.
An IPO is a process where a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time, enabling anyone with a trading account to buy them on the stock exchange. Before an IPO, a company's ownership is mainly held by founders, early investors, and venture capitalists.
To participate in an IPO, investors need to open a Demat account to hold shares electronically and a trading account to buy and sell. Applications can be made through ASBA or UPI. Shares are offered in lots, with retail investors able to apply for a minimum of one lot up to a certain limit. After the subscription period ends, the company allots shares, with the possibility of not getting shares or only a portion if demand is high.
Companies launch IPOs for various reasons, such as raising capital for growth and expansion, reducing debt, or funding new projects. It also provides investors with an early opportunity to buy shares, potentially benefiting from the company's future growth.
Ottobock's upcoming IPO is set to raise 800 million euros, valuing the company at around 4 to 4.2 billion euros. Other German companies are also exploring IPOs. By going public, these companies aim to raise capital, increase visibility, and provide investors with an early chance to invest.
